Post your totem! Here's mine (Peri'el)
a fine-grained lacewood king snake totem
A set of sharply-pointed ruby teeth protrude from the king snake's jaw, seemingly ready to bite off any offending fingers that wander too close. Its body is covered by bright-edged overlapping bronze scales that catch even the faintest light, displaying a scintillating light show whenever the totem is turned. The eyes are a pair of perfectly clear crystals, shining brightly with hidden wisdom. The king snake's body is twisted into an attractive yet symbolic S-like shape.

a well-polished willow ram totem
A perfect set of round-faceted emerald horns grow from the ram's head, flawless in every minute detail. Finely-detailed grassy green emerald hooves decorate the tips of its tiny legs. The eyes are a pair of round cut amethysts, shining brightly with hidden wisdom. The ram's coat is covered with golden markings that have patterned themselves after what appears to be the setting sun.

a deftly-rendered mistwood heron totem
Sunlight-hued topaz plumage rustles occasionally from the heron's wings. Its beak is fashioned from iridescent aquamarine and heavily detailed with intricate scrollwork. The eyes are a pair of polished jade chips, shining brightly with hidden wisdom. The heron's beak is open wide, as if caught emitting a soundless cry.

a fine-grained yew wolf totem
Protruding sharply from the wolf's feet, slender emerald claws seem poised to rend the very air. Its tail is covered with pink coral fragments in a spiraling pattern that seems to shift subtly with every movement. The eyes are a pair of polished jade chips, shining brightly with hidden wisdom. The tail of the wolf is pointed out and slightly curled, as if it were caught mid-wave.

A long pair of thin polished topaz fangs protrude from the mouth, complete with tiny emeralds to symbolize venom. The shrew's coat is covered with russet markings that have patterned themselves after what appears to be a leaping fox.
